Jeremy Lin Is the Next NBA Star to Go Down With a Brutal Injury

The freshly-tipped off NBA season may still have that new car smell, but it stinks for some high-profile players.

On Wednesday night, Brooklyn's Jeremy Lin, 29, went down with a knee injury late in the team's season-opening loss to Indiana as he drove to the basket. He knew right away something was wrong, saying, "I'm done."

Hayward has begun the long road to recovery and delivered a message to Celtics fans at their home opener on Wednesday night. The 2017-2018 isn't even a week old, but it's already unfolding as the the year of the injury, so let's hope this trend ends quicker than a perfectly-executed fast break.
